Did some kind of automoderation break the title by changing ALL_CAPS to All_caps?

I remember writing the title as ALL_CAPS => sudo all_caps So it appears something did actually change it.

weinzierl got it right. We've edited the title back.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

because you need press shift while pressing y, u, m to type YUM. I definitely type sudo yum faster.

Do you not have a CAPSLOCK key?

My caps lock is mapped to ESC.

FYI, in bash, "sudo !!" re-runs the previous command with sudo.

I use it all the time! But also worth remembering that !$ is the object of your last command, so you could do something like

cp /some/tortured/path/to/file.txt /some/other/path/file.txt

chown myuser:myuser !$

Thanks for that little tip! It's a constant mistype for me...

    $ apt install something
    E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock 
      (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

That's not "funny" enough, unless the "!!" is replaced by an emoji.

    papln used multiple exclamation marks and is clearly insane. This incident will be reported.

Many people map capslock to Ctrl or Escape. Or both, depending on whether the key is held or tappped.
